Why are you defending Bush?
…
why are you concerned what the left has to say about him? In fact, lets join them.

Doesn’t it seem like lying would be a waste of time? Why not stick to things that Bush really did and the motives he really has rather than making stuff up? Or do you think that ranting about the fascist, evil, worse than Hitler, BOOOOSH is going to get any credibility or make any difference?

His domestic spending is far too high, his unwillingness to use the veto caused significant spending and earmark issues, his immigration policy is 1986 rehashed, and some of his appointments weren’t well advised. None of this requires me to list Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. or make stuff up, or attribute any motives to him, much less attributing the worst motives.

Sorry, when people make up their own set of “facts” to match their worldview in direct contrast to actual reality… I’m not joining in.

Bush ‘Worse than Fascist Dictators:’…

Lots of praise in the comments to Peter Mehlman’s piece @ HuffPo: “You could argue that even the world’s worst fascist dictators at least meant well. They honestly thought were doing good things for their countries by suppressing blacks/eliminating …

It is not enought that people exhibit such pretentions as they do in this case.

They also exhibit a great deal of nastiness, arrogance, condescension, and self-absorbtion, and damned anyone that gets hurt by them doing so!

What on earth are you thinking? How did killing Jews hurt the Allied nations or bring Germany back to power?

Never mind his incessant purges?

Unbelievable. A break from reality this complete ought to be documented by professionals; go check yourself into the nearest mental hospital.

Why are you defending Bush? The left is clearly nuts and can’t get enough of talking about this guy, but I have had enough of him. I have voted for him twice, supported the Republican party for 30 years, contributed and done everything I can to promote the conservative cause of little taxes, small government and generally being left alone. Yet between Bush and the Republican congress I feel that I have been left alone on an empty beach. None of them listen and they all seem to have an agenda that is only slightly different from the Dems. With Bush recently giving the finger to us, not to mention all of his other failures as a president, why are you concerned what the left has to say about him? In fact, lets join them.

Stand back, the purges of those who oppose El Presidente are sure to be a bloody mess, making Hitler and Stalin look peaceful in comparison.

…

Or, you know… maybe not. Maybe this is completely retarded, and a better example for liberal stupidity is hard to find.

But I’m pretty sure it’s one or the other. Liberals, are you worried about Bush’s Military pulling an Elian and yanking you from your beds at gunpoint; or is this just masturbating about how you think you’d want to feel if you really got to face evil?

It seems it’s got to be one or the other. I doubt it’s the evil pogrom of those who oppose Bush (as I’ve seen no running, screaming, or blood in the streets) so I’m going to guess stupidity.

But hey, keep this up and maybe you can beat Bush in the upcoming election. Just act as completely unhinged crazy hateful psychotic as possible; and just maybe you can Stop Bush from being President past the 2008 election. Please bring your A-game crazy to the party for this one, to show the voters how much you really hate Bush and why he shouldn’t be re-elected.

As much as I hate the famous Jew-killers (remember the Russian pogroms?), that point is very valid.

Hitler saw his people being stomped on by angry Allied nations and wanted to bring them back to glory. By stealing and murder, yes, but that was how the Nazis were legally elected to power – by providing the nation with jobs and food and housing.

Stalin thought that everyone could just share everything. Unfortunately he forgot about human nature, never mind his incessant purges.

But Bush? What the heck is he thinking?!

In one sense, Bush did live up to his promise of being a “uniter not a divider”.

This is such an insult to all the victims of these monsters and their families. Where is the well-meaning of the human rights defenders from the Left?

Entelechy on June 25, 2007 at 1:26 AM

Apparently they think that Muslims “mean well” in their subjugation of women too, given the utter silence from the Left on that issue. Of course, standing up for the rights of millions of Muslim women who aren’t even allowed to go to school would require that liberals not be consummate hypocrites. So of course it’ll never happen.

Levy, great work on “meaining well”. So did Milosovich, Che, the ‘leaders’ in Dharfur, Rwanda, Burma/Myanmar, Somalia, Uganda…so do Messrs Putin and Chavez – they all ‘mean well’.

This is such an insult to all the victims of these monsters and their families. Where is the well-meaning of the human rights defenders from the Left?

If you Google “democide,” you’ll find R. J. Rummel’s site. He is probably the world’s expert on government’s killing people–having spent his life studying the issue.
His estimates are that four leftist leaders killed about 130 million people in the 20th Century. They are Mao Tse-tung (77 million), Joseph Stalin (43 million), Vladimir Lenin (4 million), and Pol Pot (2 million).
They were, as Mehlman says, true believers who thought they were doing good and that the ends justified the means. Ironically, that is still the progressives’ position today.
They ignore all evidence to the contrary that their philosophy doesn’t work for people are mainly built to work for their own self-interests. (Note Ted Kennedy’s attempt to kill the building of ocean wind generators near his estate.) Progressive ignore, too, the damage they are still doing. For example, more than 10 million Africans have died because of the progressive’s feel good DDT ban.
Indeed, despite the fact that about 90 percent of media people support the Democratic party (according to the recent analysis of political contributions), and the government supports NPR (which has been called “Demi-TASS.”), Mehman and his ilk are now trying to destroy talk radio and Fox news.
Despite the fact there is about a 6 to 1 ratio of Democratic college professors to Republicans, progressives are also attempting to destroy free speech on campus and in the work place. (Read George Will’s column today about the Oakland speech police.)
So now we know what progressive means: 1) progressive muzzling–which, of course, is the position your true believer opponent takes when he can’t out argue you and 2) retrogressive, unworkable social policies forced down your throat for your own good (as progressives see it). (Note the Massachusetts legislature’s recent refusal to allow citizens to vote on the gay marriage issue.) (An issue, which incidentally, I would support, but which still should be voted on.)
Joseph Stalin called progressives “useful idiots.” And Citizen Duck above is right. Had Stalin won, he would have hanged them from trees. I call them “dangerous idiots,” or doctrinAIReHEADS. If radical Islam wins, they will most certainly lose their heads. But they will cost us ours also.

Hey Levy? When you were in L.A. a couple of weeks ago, was that to consult for THHNH or your own show on the Breitbart.TV network?

Would be a shame if the answer was “neither.”

I don’t get it Tomas. You say that we have called Bush the same kind of names that the left does. Yet you link to a story where republicans disagree with the president but did not call him one single name… What’s your point? Not to mention that the whole story disproves the lib lie that conservatives follow the president lockstep.

Your defenses ring hollow….it is probably too late to redeem yourselves.

If our defenses ring hollow they why not crush us completely by actually responding to our comments? Is that so hard? I posted a comment mocking you and your ideas and you haven’t responded to it. Maybe liberal ideas are so inherently superior that they don’t need to be defended or even discussed.
